Good Hotel in the city

Posted Jan 13, 2015

Pros: I wanted a decent place in the city and the hotel met that expectation. I probably would've been fine with something less expensive though.

Cons: Ice machines. Clean the rooms better. Cheaper on demand menu.

Location: GasLamp district is right there with lots of restaurants and nightlife. Balboa Park is a 5 minute drive away.

The hotel is in an interesting area. You're within a short walking distance of the Gaslamp's restaurants and the nightlife is healthy on the weekends. The downside is there's quite a few homeless and plenty of panhandlers within that walk too. So city life goes. The hotel's staff was very nice, housekeeping did a good job. We stayed on the tenth floor and I'd recommend the higher floors for the view and distance from the street noise (which we couldn't hear even on weekend nights when it was plenty loud at ground level). The rooms could be better maintained for the prices though, with plenty of scuff marks all around and what looked like dried spit on the closet door. Gotta wipe everything down housekeeping!! And although I could've found it out beforehand, it was a small surprise that parking would be extra. I was told $40 for hotel parking, valet only, and $30 right across the street, or $15 a few blocks away. We parked across the street and it was $30 a couple of nights and $20 a couple of nights...My major complaint would be no ice machines!!

Dear Baxter Thank you for sharing the details about your recent stay. We appreciate the kind comments about our staff. I'm sorry if you were inconvenienced by not having an ice maker on the guestroom floor. Our staff is happy to provide ice and have it brought to the rooms, but we realize you may have preferred it to be more readily accessible. We do hope you will be back to the area and consider visiting again. Sincerely, Patty Fletcher

Fantastic modern hotel

Posted Jan 12, 2015

We stayed in this hotel for 4 days recently and had a great time! We loved the modern and fun vibe the hotel has. The position of the hotel is perfect right on 5th avenue a close walk to everywhere. We also made use of the rooftop pool which was heated and very enjoyable!

Nice hotel, great location

Posted Jan 9, 2015

Pros: Location, comfort and friendly staff. The complimentary wine in the foyer each afternoon was lovely.

Cons: Parking fee a bit high. Bathroom door not very private.

Location: Right near Gaslamp and Horton Plaza shopping.

We recently had a 3 night stay in San Diego and The Palomar Hotel was very comfortable and close to restuarants and shopping. Easy access by car to the zoo and seaworld too.

Nice hotel walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars. Only down part is the $40 a day parking since hotel does not have a parking lot.

We are glad to hear that our location worked well for walking to the local bars and restaurants. We appreciate being located steps away from the Gaslamp and the proximity of the "heart of the City". We appreciate the 4-star rating, that is awesome! Sincerely, Patty Fletcher

Very close to all the fun!!!

Posted Jan 6, 2015

They charged me $50.00 for valet parking!!! Pulled up to unload bags. A man came and told us to leave keys in and ask if WE got everything out, NEVER OFFERED TO HELP WITH OUR BAGS! We carried all our bags to our room ourselves. Not even an offer for a cart for the bags! Walls are paper thin but we expected a little noise being in the gas lamp district.

We appreciate the feedback about your recent stay. I am sorry about any confusion on parking as our daily valet rates are $40.00. Additionally, I regret to hear that you were not assisted with your luggage. That is definitely not our standard by any means, and apologize that this was your experience. Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your visit and I would welcome the opportunity to work to turn this around. Sincerely, Patty Fletcher
